Commercial Roof Coatings

Gaco Western have been innovators in foam and coatings since
1955. They are constantly looking for
solutions to roofing problems and in the last few years have developed a very
special coating to address re-roofing where spray foam insulation is not needed
or when there are two or more existing roofs currently in-place and where NYS
Building Code does not allow a third roof to be installed.

GacoFlex S-20 is a single-component, moisture cured silicone
coating for commercial and industrial roof applications. The product is petroleum and solvent-free so
it is easier on the environment while still offering the same functionality as
traditional petroleum-based roofing products.

GacoFlex is a 95% solids elastomeric coating that creates a
uniform, seamless surface remaining flexible even in low temperatures. It expands and contracts with changing
weather conditions, protecting a roof's surface from the sun's damaging
rays. This enables the coating to endure
continuous thermal stresses over the lifetime of the roof.

Replacing an existing, fully adhered or mechanically
fastened EPDM membrane is costly and labor intensive. With GacoFlex S-20, an existing roof can be
restored without incurring the needless expenses or interrupting the daily operations
of a business. The product can also be
applied to an existing roof without being considered as an additional layer for
NYS code purposes. This eliminates the
cost of disposal from a potential tear-off.

Roof coatings made with Acrylic, Urethane, or Asphalt can
soften under the stress of ponding water.
This can result in a coating that bubbles or peels away from the
substrate; leaving a roof exposed to leaks and water intrusion. By comparison, silicone is an inert material
that does not decompose - its unique chemistry creates a coating that will not
degrade under ultraviolet rays or extreme weather conditions.
